How Time Flies: Grand Central

Grand Central Station in 1913, with sunlight streaming in the windows.Grand Central Station in 2007: no more sunlight due to high-rise buildings.

Grand Central Station in New York City in 1913 (left) and 2007 (right). The station's the same, but the neighbourhood isn't. Not so much morning sunlight streaming in, alas.

In 1904, the railway company published rules for the employees at Grand Central Station. We suspect the trainspotters in our audience will enjoy them.
